Background fertilization is essential to ensure a good start for organic pepper crops and to create the appropriate nutritional conditions in the soil. The application of Fertilone^® 5.7.7 makes it possible to supply nutrients and organic matter in a single intervention, improving fertilization efficiency, optimizing nutrient uptake and reducing the number of applications required, which simplifies fertilizer management.

Pepper cultivation in organic production requires particularly careful nutritional planning from the beginning of the crop cycle. Unlike conventional systems, where fertilization can be quickly corrected through soluble mineral inputs, in organic farming nutrient management relies mainly on soil fertility. For this reason, background fertilization becomes especially important, as it allows the establishment of a balanced nutritional environment from the start, supporting the crop during its early stages of development.

After transplanting, pepper plants need to rapidly develop an active root system that allows them to explore the soil profile and make efficient use of available resources. Proper root development determines the plant’s ability to absorb water and nutrients, influences crop uniformity and largely defines the productive potential of the plantation. In organic systems, where soil dynamics and microbiological activity play a fundamental role, background fertilization should focus not only on nutrient supply but also on improving soil structure and stimulating biological activity.

Fertilone^® 5.7.7 is an organo-mineral NPK 5-7-7 fertilizer designed for soil application as background fertilization, formulated from high-quality stabilized organic matter of animal origin. Its composition supplies nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium in balanced proportions together with a high organic matter content, which helps improve soil fertility and stimulate biological activity. The product is presented in pelletized granules, facilitating its application and ensuring a homogeneous distribution across the crop surface.

In horticultural soils subjected to intensive cropping, where organic matter is often limited and soil structure may deteriorate over time, the use of Fertilone^® 5.7.7 helps progressively improve soil fertility and promotes a more balanced environment for crop development. This aspect is especially important in organic farming, where soil fertility management is one of the key pillars of the production system.

Fertilone^® 5.7.7 provides a balanced nutritional supply to the soil that promotes steady vegetative growth without excessive vigor. It also contributes to root development, improving crop establishment after transplanting and enhancing the plant’s physiological balance, preparing it to better face the later stages of flowering and fruit formation.

It is recommended to apply Fertilone^® 5.7.7 as background fertilization before transplanting organic pepper crops, incorporating it into the soil during land preparation to ensure its integration into the root development zone. In horticultural crops, recommended application rates generally range between 800 and 2000 kg per hectare, depending on soil fertility and crop conditions, always aiming for a uniform distribution to optimize nutrient use and promote proper crop establishment.

Fertilone® 5.7.7 is a fertilizer suitable for use in organic crop production according to Regulation (EU) 2018/848 and compliant with UNE 142500 standards.
